Rose Parade

The Rose Parade is an annual parade held in Pasadena, California, on New Year's Day or January 2 if the holiday falls on a Sunday. It has been produced by the non-profit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association since 1890 and features flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units. The parade has been uninterrupted except during World War II and the COVID-19 pandemic, and is watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators. The parade was originally staged by the Valley Hunt Club to showcase Pasadena's mild winter weather and was later formalized into an annual event with the formation of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association in 1895.learn more on wikipedia
